What I really like about the PIC is that I can literally take a chip,
stick it into a breadboard, attach it to a PICKIT2 and program it in a
few seconds. From start to finish (blinking an LED) in a few minutes.
Literally. I also like the price range (under $10), the fact that they
can be obtained in DIP packages, require few external components, easy
to program and use, and have enough flash, RAM, and peripherals.

Can anyone recommend an ARM chip that can do all that? More specifically:
* Very easy to prototype with
* Easy to program
* Requires few support components
* Low price
* DIP package
* A good amount of flash and RAM - above 32 K flash and 8 K RAM
